A Nigerian man said he recently split from his girlfriend who said ‘she hates whites,’ pointing out that racism is everywhere. John fired back: ‘I am talking about WHITE on BLACK racism. The kind that has ruined the world not caused a lil break up with your girlfriend.’ When one Twitter user took offense and told him: ‘we can’t conquer hatred with hatred. We rather say we hate their attitude.’ John shot back: I said what I said. Speak for yourself at all times x See more reactions below. Boyega who remained defiant in a passionate Instagram Live video addressed the counter-comments to his tweets and further stated that he doesn’t care if his statement hurts his career. He affirmed that he would block anyone on social media who posts racist responses to his posts.
